I was not surprised to hear that Dead Mage (“Garshasp”, “Shadow Blade”) was able to collect $108,000 on Kickstarter for their hack n slash/roguelike game “Children Of Morta” last month.
Because not only is “Children of Morta” (Windows, MAC, Linux, PS4, PSV, Wii-U) a really beautiful game. But the game is also inspired by awesome games such as “Rogue Legacy”, “Binding of Isaac” and “Risky of Rain”.

“Children of Morta” has been inspired by games such as “Binding of Isaac”, “Rogue Legacy” and “Risky of Rain”.
I also love the fact that you fight as a family in “Children of Morta”. And there´s quite a few family members to choose from as well (and each and every one has their own unique set of skills).
Such as Mark (foreign martial arts), Linda (master of the bow), Kevin (fast on his feet and skilled with throwing knives) Lucy (a talented young mage), John (a warrior, his also the father of the family) and Joey (a master craftsman that likes to smash things with his big hammer).
So, yeah. I´m pretty eager to pre-order “Children of Morta” right away! Because the game is easily worth $15 imo.
About Children Of Morta:
Children of Mortas is a narrative-based roguelike hack’n slash game for PC, Mac and Linux which will involve you in the adventures of a family. Since the corruption of the god of Mount Morta, his rage and anger has turned all the creatures into sick, furious monsters.
The Bergson family, guardians of Mount Morta, live in their house at the mountain side. They try to reach the peak of the cursed mountain to find out what happened to its god and how they can change his doomed fate!
